Milestone germination

This is a first for me - I germinated a palm from a seed collected from a palm I grew from seed!  I know @kinzyjr and likely many others have done this.  If it weren't for Palmageddon (February 2021 freeze) it would have happened sooner but 7 years is still pretty quick for this to happen.

Here's the mother palm (non-trunking Chamaedorea radicalis) grown from seed sent from @DoomsDaversz_img_20250505_191704381.thumb.jpg.9736bc97a4acc5b5f823222d6cac303a.jpg

Terrific! Congratulations on that . I have done the same with my Radicalis tree form time and again . It is so great feeling to have a few generations growing in the ground. They are really nice palms and germinate freely , produce copious amounts of seeds for more palms. Free is always best. Harry

Thanks, yes I never imagined a palm flowering so early in life.  Certainly not the norm for most palms!  But rewarding to have multiple palm generations going.  🙂
